Market News
Despite intermittent bouts of volatility, Bitcoin spent most of the week trading sideways, looking to close out the week at around $38,000. Altcoins led a strong recovery from last week’s lows, with Ethereum putting in an admirable performance and appreciating 10% to close out above $2,800.
Global equities, particularly US tech, were more volatile — hurting the oft-heard, but laughable argument from some regulators that crypto’s volatility made it unsuitable for investment by the retail public. The bubbly conditions in these markets were laid bare by massive declines on disappointing earnings from tech stocks including Meta (-20%) and PayPal (-15%). Not all suffered, though, with some companies defying expectations and broader market sentiment to climb. This included Google (+11%), Amazon (flat) and Netflix (+5%, though coming off a large decline last week). Many of these tech stocks didn’t move in a straight line, shifting dramatically in after-hours trading — particularly Wednesday onwards.
Today, the market rout is continuing, with the good-news-is-bad-news narrative continuing as Friday’s strong US payroll numbers (467k jobs were added, against an estimate of 150k) do nothing to diminish market expectations of coming interest rate hikes — with the yield curve flattening as rates rise across the board. Gold is one of the few assets holding its ground.
In a positive development for the Bitcoin mining industry. Russian president Vladimir Putin has reportedly backed a government proposal to tax and regulate the mining of cryptocurrencies, rejecting the central bank’s proposal to ban it completely. With an abundant energy supply, Russia could become a major player in the crypto mining industry.
